Simply Fabulous Free and Under L$75 Finds in Second Life – Since 2007

Tag Archives: American Cancer Society

Since I am feeling a bit green in the gills today, I thought I would spruce up my little house on the ground of my parcel, so I added this working armoire and some flowers. Figured I would show you all the results. The items come from one of the merchants at the Relay for Life Home and Garden Expo. I always go to these things because this is one of the events in Second Life that helps support the American Cancer Society. You can get some really low cost goodies for a good cause!! Totally works for me 🙂

The Second Annual Christmas Expo in support of The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life has begun and runs until December 19th! This is a fantastic time to do some Christmas shopping for your besties and SL family or pick up something sweet for yourself! There are several beautifully decorated regions full of exclusive designs benefiting the American Cancer Society and each vendor is offering a free naughty or nice gift! Don’t worry if you are naughty the first time around, you’ll get one or two more chances to redeem yourself and claim your nice prize!

Not only is the shopping fantastic, but there are also events such as the The Amazing Race, The Breedables Live Auction, Live DJs and and plenty of entertainment. This wonderful charity event is very easy to move around with a handy teleport board! You can even have your picture taken with Santa!

Below I am wearing three of the free gifts you can find at the Christmas Expo. Sassy!’s gift is the Sakura Gown in green which can be worn several different ways. I think I like it best as the corseted formal, but you can wear it how ever it suits you best! The colour is a deep holiday green – perfect for this time of year.

At Amacci, they are giving away the Insight Snowy Eyes that even comes with a sparkle. The earrings displayed are the Quatro Stud Earrings in Emerald and Ruby that you will find at Earthstones.

The Bliensen & MaiTai Corazon Necklace I have on today is not part of the Christmas Expo, but it is also free through the Peace On Earth Hunt 5! Locate the hidden globe at their mainstore and you’ll have this adorable winged heart necklace.

Wondering about the skin I am in? This is Mirror Enigma’s brand new sweet and fun-loving Nixie! This is not a free skin, but they have just released a new group gift, which I will be showing you very soon!

Yes.. another post of me in fins lol I am quite enjoying this whole swimming thing, and there are so many beautiful mermaid sets out there to show! The set above that I am wearing is a new release from Mermaid Treasure & Boutique that can be purchased for 500L at the Fantasy Faire 2012. This is not a donation item, but as I mentioned in a previous post, they do have donation items at their Faire location. The side shaved hair I am wearing is a new release that can be found at Wasabi Pills Fantasy Faire location called Teeloh Mesh Hair and is available in mens and women’s sizes. I’m mixing up my fairs a little here.. because I also want to mention to you that the skin I am wearing can be found at The Kawaii Fair lol… This one is made by Modish, called UrKiddo Sunkiss Nude Teeth and is just 10L at the Kawaii Fair Bazaar Building.

I have a couple more donation items from The Fantasy Faire 2012 to share with you that I found super cute! As I have mentioned in previous posts the Fantasy Faire 2012 is supporting The American Cancer Society. The pose below is called Pearl Diving and is a donation item for Relay For Life made by Studio Sidhe which you can pick up for a minimum donation of 150L. If you are a photographer of mermaids or mermen in Second Life you will know that good Merposes are hard to come by – and Studio Sidhe sure won’t disappoint!

I’m going from mermaid to petite below to show you the other donation item from Studio Sidhe. This next pose is called Not Quite Cupid and is the most adorable human/petite pose set! I asked Free Jaggernov to pose with petite me and she was ever so kind as to co-operate. Thank you Free, for your help! The Not Quite Cupid pose set can be purchased with a minimum donation of 200L at The Fantasy Faire 2012.

I have had my life touched by cancer both through family and friends over the years and recently I have had my own terrifying brush with it on a personal level. A visit to the Doctor with the possiblity of being told that I might have cancer has been one of the most frightening experiences of my life. Thankfully I was clear.. and believe me it gives the air you breathe a fresher feeling the next time you breathe in and realise just how lucky you are to be alive. For those who havent been so fortunate to be given the all clear, the donations that these events and others raise, go towards funding research so that one day they might be able to visit their Doctor and be told that they are in remission or are infact all clear.. and then so that one day, we can cure it all together.

This year’s theme is “Beyond Black and White,” embodying the spirit of cancer survivors everywhere as they find hope rising out of the dark diagnosis of cancer. Each of the nine sims have been decorated in the spirit of this theme which makes it even more striking to wander around. Everything is beautifully arranged and the organisers have really taken lag into account for example, by making sure that textures used are below 512 x 512 to reduce loading times among other things. The sims themselves will also be restarted every day. Lets help others to enjoy this event by going as lag friendly as possible.. that means reducing the prims you wear and removing unnecessary HUD’s and even AO’s if your ego can stand wandering around a little like a duck.. hey its for a good cause!

Here is a list of sims and the stores within each one.. there is a main gatcha area within each sim where some of the designers have put items into donation gatchas for you to play. All proceeds of the gatchs will go to Fashion For Life! The items have been asked to be made transferable so you can swap with your friends! There is also a hunt going on with the prizes costing from 10L to 100L so be sure to hunt around if you can. The hunt item is a little box that is white with the purple, blue and pink American Cancer Society and Fashion For Life logo on it.

So be aware it will be laggy.. be prepared for not being able to get in immediately. I will be blogging items from the event over the next week, both full price donation items and gatcha/hunt items. This is an amazing cause to be involved in and we can all help by making the smallest donation. Please please please go and visit if you can over the next 10 days and spread the word. We all need to fight so one day we WILL beat cancer once and for all.

Below are the SLURLs to the sims and stores within it. Sometimes they will take you directly to the store, other times it seems they will take you to the main landing point for that sim!

The Fantasy Faire 2010 is underway. In association with the American Cancer Society, it aims to raise money to fight and spread awareness of Cancer in all its forms. There are nine sims for you to explore and there are heaps of goodies.. you will be spoilt for choice.

There are lots of freebies available including a mini hunt where you are searching for little ribbons around the sims.. but I do encourage all those who can to be able to make a donation in one form or another.. no matter how small. Merchants have special items up for sale using Charity Vendors where all proceeds go to the American Cancer Society and there are donation kiosks dotted around the sims if you feel you cannot afford to buy something but would like to help the fight against cancer.

I will be showing you a mix of both free, low priced and Charity Vendor items. If you get the chance please please do visit and help to make this event a success.
